Nokia Confirms 'Comes With Music' Headed to U.S. in 2009
What idiots are running Nokia? Has it dawned on them they're getting their butts handed to them?

I find that Finnish are usually more "green", and this seems anything but...unless you are talking green cash money.
green has nothing to do with this. its a great idea. a year of unlimited downloads music wise would definitly add value to a phone i may other wise have not looked at. Nokia never mentio9ned these were cheap phones or throw awayphones. and since Nokia...
